As the days and months and years of President Obama's administration pass by, he will spend a lot of time cleaning up the mess left behind. We have a serious era in front of us, and the country has elected a serious man for the task. In fact, he is so serious, that Rush Limbaugh is starting to sound like a small-minded punk in his attacks on the new Commander in Chief.
Limbaugh's emotional ladder seemed to be missing a few rungs when he attacked Michael J. Fox based on the disease that is debilitating the popular actor. He sounded more like a moral sewer when he made fun of Elizabeth Edwards with a blow job joke predicated against this brave elegant woman battling cancer.
Since Limbaugh wouldn't give a liberal credit for curing all the world's diseases -- he would probably say it was an attempt to cripple the medical industry -- I read parts of his website yesterday and, sure enough, he was immature, petty and counterproductive.
He made a big issue of the stumbling as the oath of office was administered (since Justice Roberts invoked the wrong words, we'll leave it at that). He "thinks" Senator Feinstein said "oaf of office," and he brutally criticized an inaugural address that was pretty much praised by virtually all others in the media. In other words, he read like a small-minded punk.
We know about Limbaugh's record of attacking African Americans, from a virulent riposte against a caller in Sacramento, to losing his job at ESPN for his know-nothing assertions about Donovan McNabb, to assuming Senator Sherrod Brown was black because of his name.
If President Obama is successful, Limbaugh will sound sillier and more ridiculous. His show will become a carnival of weak accusations and moronic losers calling in with dumb rumors and jackass theories.
There will always be a base audience to believe in the rotten fish Limbaugh peddles, because he operates on the twin emotions of fear and anger, and that can always draw a crowd.
Soon, however, he will start to sound like his female counterpart Ann Coulter: a strident voice listened to less and less as the nation moves forward and these sad sacks just stand completely still.
Truth is, the Limbaugh's and the Hannity's of the world are becoming irrelevant...and as long as the dwindling Republican party continue to cast their lots with the likes of these guys, the rest country will pass them by (e.g. Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, and Ohio).
The youth (the future) of this country has spoken and it has had enough of the"ism's" that continue to seperate people.
He just sounds more and more like he's losing touch with reality. Like mental issues time!
Is it socialism? Nationalizing the private sector? National healthcare? Higher taxes? More regulations? Much bigger government? Reading prisoners at Gitmo their Miranda rights? Amnesty for illegal aliens? More dependency on government? The "Fairness Doctrine"?
These are things that Rush and other conservatives like me are against. Why would we want him to succeed with that agenda? We want him to keep our country safe from all enemies and get out of our way so we can prosper and create jobs like capitalist should.
It's called dissent, something liberals practiced for the last 8 years.
Amnesty for illegal aliens?
vs. Amnesty for Scooter Libby
More dependency on government?
I prefer a Government we can depend on when it becomes absolutely necessary..
The "Fairness Doctrine"?
This question is a give-a-way indicator that you get your news and IDEAS from the Right Wing pundits..... who have to tell you guys what to think...
Progressive have no intent of bringing back the Fairness Doctrine... We want people like Rush, Hannity and the rest of the AM Radio hacks to keep talking. They are our best recruiting Tool.
More terrorist attacks on American soil? Another Great Depression? Further erosion of our constitutional rights? Millions of former middle-class Americans who have lost their homes to foreclosure? The complete loss of our industrial base? The rest of the world hating our guts? A torture dungeon in the basement of every police station? More wars predicated on slim evidence? Five- or six-digit war casualties? Completely wearing out the military?
What is it you want that our enemies don't?
Obama wants to do a bigger "New Deal" and the original one actually prolonged the Great Depression by 7 years.

Why would anyone, except Democrats in government, want that to happen again?
already limits any respect for our new President by name-calling him "the Bama," Mark Levin, "the Great One," as described by...only those at the station. How? When? Because of what, please, specifically,
has this guy gotten to 'earn' such an epithet? From the same bowel that drives 'The Bama,' perhaps?
And I just can't fail to mention the most obvious bench player out there, the great Steve Malzberg,
right behind the great poop-truck of the "Conservative" talk-radio machine, filtering through
it's effluence as his homework, daily, in preparation for his show. The list goes on, but even the Pragers
and Gamblings and, "Virtue Itself," Mr. Bennett, as well as Dennis Miller, haven't gone the dirt rout yet
in killing an administration clearly set on working with us, rather than regardless OF us.
I can only hope like heck, for now, that we keep listening for sure, and, despite the entertainment value we gain from listening to these favorites, that we absorb what it means to glean the wheat from the disturbingly useless chaff we're getting still to this day among some sources, and that we kick it up a notch therefore, by thinking for ourselves in this, our free society.
Well for the last eight years the government was populated with moronic losers. Now with the resurgence of intelligence and competence, and the desire to return the American dream to the American people instead of hijacking it in the name of the top .01%, the contrast is so stark that the right wing demagogues don't know how to handle it.
I have tried to make sense of such an idiotic, volatile statement. I know, I'm not supposed to be able to wrap my mind around it. I know, it's meant to incite an angry response. It's impossible to remain rational after that comment.
Nonetheless, let's play this out.
So, here is a short list of what little ol' Rush is actually hoping for.
Rush hopes for:
more foreclosures
more unemployment
more uninsured
more illiteracy
more HIV/AIDS
more bridges to fall
more roads to crumble
more oil to be burned
more taxes on the middle class
more polluted air
less potable drinking water
more banks to fail
zero American car companies
Rush wants:
more dead in Iraq
failure to capture bin Laden
worse relations with our allies
another terrorist attack on U.S. soil
more wars on more fronts
no negotiated treaties
Iran to attack someone somewhere
North Korea to test more bombs
Rush truly desires:
American soldiers to be tortured
I wish I had the power to tell Rush Limbaugh just 2 little words:
"YOU'RE FIRED!"
.
In that Limbaugh and Hannity don't want Obama to succeed, their opposition to Our President and Commander in Chief makes them un-American.
In that neither Rush nore Sean ever suggest we love our enemies, that makes them anti-Christian.
Question: What should we do with un-American, right-wing, anti-Christian propaganda shills?
